Actually it's all coming back to me. I've done exactly what you described and am getting no output from monitortk. It was at this point last week that I ran my own monitor and verified data was getting to this system. I had also earlier verified data was getting into /var/log/systemimager/si_monitor.log so clearly the problem is how monitortk is [not] picking up the data to display. -mark
